Meet Owner /Chef /Entrepreneur —Rachel Collins

The Family Restaurant
Rachel Collins grew up in her family’s restaurant in rural Northwest Illinois. There, she and her family were immersed in their Northern Italian heritage of making savory, satisfying and healthy food from scratch at home.

Hunting & Gathering
Rachel’s family were also avid wild food foragers, gardeners, and fishers. This last pursuit led to Rachel spending over 20 years in the caviar industry creating a nationally known product, brand and iconoclastic American Caviar line.

The Art of Fine Cuisine
It is not surprising that Rachel has become a gourmet chef along the way. She worked
as a professional chef in restaurants over the years, as well as having provided catering services with her team and in tandem with many renowned chefs.

A Recipe for Success
Always passionate about food, her range of knowledge has grown through both research and practice. Focusing on high-quality and exquisitely delicious cuisine remains her raison d’etre, and first concern. Please stop by and say hello.
